Daily Prompt: Green-Eyed Monster ,
Since my childhood, I found it very difficult to envy someone because whoever was better than me in any respect, I started loving him/ her. I tried to follow like them, sometimes foolishly tried to copy them. So how can one be jealous of someone you like?
so better post a picture of something green but how can green be the color of envy, surprises me.
Thinking Aloud
then I have to be jealous of everyone
who can write, paint, sing, and dance
better than me,
but then
someone inside me
says,
how can you be jealous of them you fool?
They worked hard to
master their skill.
Did I work hard enough to get it?
Was I passionate about my dream?
so being jealous will not get me anywhere
I will end up simply tormenting myself.

Hello Indira,
An important message here to pursue self-discovery, instead of shooting poisonous darts at others because they are successful in their various fields of endeavor.

I really LOVED this entry. The daily prompt idea was mine, though there was no one specifically in my mind.
“They worked hard to
master their skill.
Are you jealous of them because they can do so well
or, because you can’t do like them?
I think its time for introspection .
Did I dream to achieve something?
Did I worked hard enough to get it?”
Seems like a message to anyone who’s envious on anybody else. Great post!
